My daughter woke up at 5, because of crows outside. She stuck her head outside the window and said ‘Mum, the bird witches are calling me’ and to sum up I have my next book and also I need to call a priest

This is going to sound deeper than it actually is, but bear with me, it's for a thing. Grown ups: can you think of times you've been genuinely happy as an adult? Like, in that lovely carefree way. I don't mean just 'oh, isn't this nice' surviving way - but real happiness?

Maybe there are different versions of us in our life that splinter off in the afterlife. So teenage Rose went to the Titanic, adult rose went to be with her hubs, maybe child Rose went horse riding or something. That’s my belief and I’m sticking to to it.

Can’t believe that this has happened. Working with Marcus for the past eleven months was an absolute joy and a privilege; the loveliest, most talented man who was beyond generous with his time, his knowledge and his kindness. It was an honour to know you, Marcus. Go well.
My heart is completely crushed, and I'm in total shock. The loveliest, gentlest, and most talented man, who I've got to know over this last year.
What a loss to all of us, and my thoughts are with everyone close to him. 💔
